SINGLE-DELIVERY CONTAINER.

Application filed February 28, 1921.

like-named characters of reference refer to.

like-named parts in the drawings.

Referring briefly to the drawings, Fig. 1 is a side elevational view, partly in section, of my device.

Fig. 2 is an end elevational view of the same.

Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken on the plan 33 of Fig. 1.

F ig. at is a fragmentary side elevational view, partly in section, of the device in open position.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the slidable operating bolt attached to the slidable rod connected to the shutter.

Referring now in detail to the drawings, the numeral 1 represents my container, having a bottom 2 in which there is an opening 3. Near the'upper end of the rear of the container are two spaced-apart recesses 4 and 5, in which the legs of a bolt 6 are slidably mounted. A tongue 7 extends from the container between said recesses, and a coiled spring 8 lies between said tongue and the upper leg of said bolt, normally urging said bolt upward.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 21, 1922.

Serial No. 448,455.

Within the container a rod 9 is secured to the ends of the legs of the bolt 6, said rod extending downward to the opening 3. At the end of said rod a shutter 11 is pivotally attached, said shutter having an auxiliary shutter 12 rigid with, and just above, the same, of a width sufficient to entirely cover said opening.

In Fig. 1 my device is shown as used for tobacco, and pencils, cigarettes, and matches are shown dotted therein as illustrative of other uses. It is apparent that upon depression of the bolt 6 against the force of the spring 8, the shutter l1-12 will fall into the position shown in Fig. 4, allowing a portion of tobacco to pass out through the opening 3. Obviously, when the device will be used for cigarettes, the opening 3 will be made smaller than that illustrated, and if the device is to be used for matches, said opening will be still smaller.

I claim:

A device of the class described comprising a casing, an opening in the bottom of said casing, a rod slidably mounted within said casing, a shutter pivotally attached to the end of said rod adjacent said opening, recesses in the side of said casing, a bolt having legs extending through said recesses and having said legs slidably mounted in said recesses, a. tongue extending from said casing between said recesses, a coiled spring secured between said tongue and one of said legs and normally urging said bolt upward, said legs being attached to said rod within said casing, said shutter being adapted to rise or fall when actuated by said bolt.

In witness whereof I atlix my signature.

JOSEPH DAVANZO.
